bookshelf's to match older rotel 30watt

Scored amp for my humble journey into 2 channel bliss. Its a 90's 30-35watt rotel, plan on using signal cables becuase of price and good reviews.For now my cdp will be an upconverting denon dvdplayer(cambridge 640v2 good upgrade?).Mainly listen to jazz,classical, acoustic guitar, dance, rock and of course the gypsy kings!Unfortunatly my budget right now is around 300 for speakers.was looking at used B&W dm 302 and 303. Obviously sensitivity will be an issue, any ideas?

Another choice - Energy RC-10. Closeout $330 from Audio Advisor; used $250 or so. MSRP $550. Will pair well w/ your amp.

You know the first time I heard B&Ws I fell in love with them, too. But the more I went and listen to other speakers the less I liked the B&Ws. At your price point, the top speaker I would be looking for is a used pair of the Usher S-510, as it's the small speaker to beat, after thst the Energy RC-10s are some very nice sounding speakers. Beyond that you might want to check out some NHT Classic Two or Threes, hell even the Polk RT series aren't bad for the money. There's a lot of good speakers at your price point out there and you owe it to yourself to hear as many of them as possible.
